Wow the Star Wars and cod bundles are closing in on the top 20 quickly. Cod was #39 two hours ago and now it's already #26 and Star Wars at #23 and should pass the halo 5 bundle in the next hour.

Even the standard Star Wars bundle is climbing up quickly. November will be absolutely huge for Sony this year with those two bundles.


The aftermath of Paris game show. In addition, the games release date is approaching, so it is common sense that the bundles will start picking up some steam.

I will say competed strongly with Xb one. I'm probably not going to call a winner for this month, I'll wait and see what NPD brings. We just have no idea how the Halo bundle pre-orders have fared across all retailers. Word of Mouth for Halo has not been universally high praise, a lot of people have a few issues with the game, while still being generally positive over all. This would tend to mean people taking their time to buy the game rather than picking it up in the first few weeks, which could mean a lower peak and longer tail for the sales pattern. It will be interesting to do a sales analysis comparing the first 6 months of each main Halo game once Halo 5 hits the 6 month mark. By the look of the commitment to a better performance with the charts we should get that 6 month's of sales information not that long after Halo 5 has been on the market for 6 months.


Sorry, I tried to make it clear I was talking about sales made on October.

During this month PS4 clearly was the most popular choice on online retailers.

And when accounting pre-orders on NPD It'll be a hard battle.

I'm not calling PS4 winner of NPD, but it did beat XBO during Halo month, online at least, as I said earlier.

Right I see what you mean. You mayt be right, and while technically it's not relevant because the only thing that is relevant is the October NPD results regardless of when the sale actually happened, it is an interesting curiosity that the first proper Halo outing on Xb one may not have lead to at least one month of Xb one anhilating PS4 in the USA.

Now now guys, if X1 and Halo sells some impressive numbers it's still a month for Xbox even when PS4 sales with pricecut are higher 😊 You'll have all the reason to celebrate next month.

I'm quessing 350$ or even 399$ + halo bundle would have beasted it this month but we'll never know and it should be way more profitable for MS to sell the game and 499$ console even with a cost of losing the month. But MS really needs to lower the price if they want to compete from now on.

Halo will definitely sells impressive numbers no doubt about that if they have sold it at a lower price, the problem is that they have stick to that 500$ price tag. IMO it has limit Halo's potential sales to that supposed to be XB1 runaway october npd win.

I wonder if we'll get a press release about Halo 5's day one sales. It's been number one at all the retailers so I'm sure it's pretty big.

Is this his personal website? What's the point, he's just advertising the X1?
